Research direction

Review the current Chapter 1 and Chapter 7 tutorial organization alongside the listed tutorial entries. Determine a proposed grouping for the entries and document the agreed reorganization; done means the chapter structure and tutorial placement have been settled and updated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Chapter 7 is getting a bit out of control. Meanwhile, Chapter 1 is simultaneously an intro chapter and a "viewer features" chapter. Let's use this issue to discuss some reorganization.
